Statements (Theorems, Proofs, Remarks)

Capture formal statements such as theorems, proofs and remarks in a <statement> element.

The statement element must contain a @content-type attribute describing the content of the statement. The suggested values for @content-type are:
  • exercise
  • theorem
  • lemma
  • proof
  • remark
  • axiom
  • proposition
The statement element must contain a child <label> element and may optionally contain a <title> element.
Note: Some types of statement use italic text in the output. Do not use italic tags in the XML to indicate this, the formatting must be applied for relevant statement types through the stylesheet.

If the <statement> element is cross-referenced elsewhere it must contain an @id attrtibute.

Example

<statement content-type="exercise">
  <label>Question B6</label>
  <p>(iv) does have some ambiguity. First, it is not quite clear what
  the wave function Ψ refers to; presumably <inline-formula>
    <tex-math><?CDATA ${{\rm{\Psi }}}_{1,0,0}$?>
    </tex-math>
    <mml:math overflow="scroll">
      <mml:mrow>
        <mml:msub>
          <mml:mi mathvariant="normal">Ψ</mml:mi>
          <mml:mn>1,0,0</mml:mn>
        </mml:msub>
      </mml:mrow>
    </mml:math>
    <inline-graphic xlink:href="bk978-0-7503-3851-6ch4ieqn20.gif" xlink:type="simple"/>
  </inline-formula> of the previous part. And ‘a short explanation
of your choice’ might be better as ‘justify your choice’.</p>
